If you're rooted with ClockWork, go into advanced menu and reset battery data.

Seems to me that the info regarding battery usage, cycles etc has been corrupted.

Could be because you're changing batteries.
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
I might have experience similar issues. Last week my battery was approx 30% when my desire suddenly shut down.

After a while I was able to boot into Android but it immediatly shut down again because of the low battery.

If it happens again tomorrow, I'll try wiping battery stats.

Please report back if you find a solution.
[Desire General] Slavaua:
Hello!

It is the same for my Desire. It also goes off with 20 or 30% power left.

I have a rooted device. I wiped battery statistics via recovery and as a result - now Desire shuts at 30% (but before it happened at 20%) :o

I am using Modaco r3.1-bravo-desire-modacocustomrom-withadditions-a2sd+

This is really weird.....

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Guys, which rom are you using in your devices?
[Desire General] :
Had no issues on r3.1 MoDaCo but I'm using my own ROM (check sig for link) now and haven't experienced a single problem with the battery.
[Desire General] shoonari:
wipe your battery data and fully charge your device from ... (dont know how to say on english,sorry :) ) - i mean, not by USB cable.
[Desire General] :
wall charger :)
[Desire General] tama82:
Full charge with the device powered off.
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
Last week I wallcharged when the device was off and I was able to drain it down to 16%.

:D So it's good.
[Desire General] Slavaua:
Thank you for advice! Will definitely try.
[Desire General] paprkut:
Any luck with this? I've ran juice plotter and watched my battery drain from 23% to 0 in 10 minutes.
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Shutting down at higher than, say, 1-3%, means that either the battery has defective cells (not sure how likely that is here - only seen it on laptop batteries) or the meter isn't calibrated properly. Most of 'em recalibrate once they've hit empty, so if it's the latter, it should theoretically resolve itself. Anyone know if there's a possibility to recalibrate the meter on Android (full charge, full discharge and then full charge)?
[Desire General] Slavaua:
That is really weird! :mad:

Once I charged Desire (when it was switched off) with the wall charger - I was able to work till 7%. I was happy and thought that the problem has been solved.

But I was too fast!!! :mad: Yesterday Desire switched off again at 27%.

Totally frustrated..... :(
[Desire General] paprkut:
Weird problem ain't it. I managed to charge up my phone to about 15% after it died and it slowly died like it would normally
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
I guess to rule out software you should clear the battery info. Do a full charge (some say with phone off), do a full discharge and then a full charge again.

A full charge-discharge-charge cycle should, at least in theory, make sure the software knows what's up.

And to be sure, use your battery in another Desire if possible. If that one shows the same behaviour with your battery (and obviously shouldn't have any troubles before) it must be something with the battery.

Or! Just start nagging at HTC and get yourself a new battery with some nice social engineering :p
[Desire General] bw7and:
on earlier ROMS(custom as well as stock) my desire used to shut down at 14-15%

but with insertcoin 1.14 its shutting down at 25-30%.....real pain int he ass

I have also calibrated the battery by emptying it and wall charging but no luck..

any solution guys?
[Desire General] hwoarang626:
why people dont think that this is a real problem im trying to search for a solution from more than 1 year but there is no permanent solution ,,,, many phones have this problem ,,, !!!!!!!!!!! very strange
[Desire General] GIA131:
Use usb connection with pc to charge your phone: it's long time but the best way :D

Try to delete battery stat from recovery also :D
[Desire General] Tipostrano:
To rule out battery hw fault try buy new battery ...not expensive on Amazon.
[Desire General] Crokas:
Deleting battery stats does not resolve early phone shut down. Try to observe battery voltage.. I think it`s just weak battery.
[Desire General] loucipher:
Try the app "Battery Monitor widget". There you can check mW, mA, % and temperature of the battery.

Maybe it's really a weak battery.

My Desire quits at 15-18% (Sandvold's ICS)
[Desire General] danarama:
All desires shut down at around 15% to protect the battery. Any lower could damage it irreparably.

The thing is most desires report this 15% as 0 or 1% of usable battery, which makes sense. Only calibration can resolve this
[Desire General] Jordywild:
You must wipe battery's stats from recovery.

My desire goes off with 8% ;)
[Desire General] tihimasmo:
When you seldom complete ch/ dch cycles, charge with different chargers and/ or mess about flashing stuff to your phone, the battery stats get skewed. I have positive experiences from wiping battery stats and do it when ever I have flashed or been generally sloppy about charging. Prior to a wipe I charge with stock charger to100% and then some. Unplug charger before powering off, reconnect it after device is off and charge some more. Then reboot and wipe stats. I have 100% for a while and device shuts down below 10%.

I've seen different opinions on charging via USB. Does anyone have a reference on that issue?
[Desire General] danarama:
All wiping battery stats does is wipe the history of how long your screen has been on, how much % tapatalk has used etc.

It's the same as plugging your phone in. These stats wipe. One of the biggest android myths after you need task killers
[Desire General] tihimasmo:
That's weird, since the first time I performed it I more than doubled battery hours.

Daniel from Sweden
[Desire General] danarama:
You're not just wiping battery stats though. Reading your post, you're doing lots of cable play.
[Desire General] tihimasmo:
I guess it adds up then.

Daniel from Sweden
[Desire General] Crokas:
Another myth is about anitivirus software...
[Desire General] danarama:
Yes indeed. Android is sandboxed and unless you "Allow" something (with the allow button), nothing can gain access to anything.

I have lookout, but NOT for antivirus purposes.
[Desire General] Crokas:
And it`s kind of not verry cheap software and useles for the phone ;) Unless user is totaly brainless.
[Desire General] princevalleum:
I was having the same problems after switching from stock rom to gingervillian.. phone would turn off round 20% power.

Tried resetting the battery with clockworkmod and the discharging battery steps but nothing was working so I just brought a new battery and I've had no problems since.

So my advice is buy a new battery.
[Desire General] crazyman6:
I am just reporting that I have been having this issue for awhile, with multiple roms,

I dont think this a rom issue, and I clear batt statts when I change roms.
[Desire General] danarama:
I only said a couple of posts ago that wiping battery stats does nothing in regards to this. You need to calibrate your battery. The best way is using nexus one battery calibration tool but you need a kernel that supports it.

http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=723
[Desire General] Zullian:
I have the same problem on htc Desire..and I think it's not about the battery, it's about ROM..I was on CM7 and first phone was shutting down at 15% then it was 20%, I changed ROM to "Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.2_Special_Edition" and there with all sense animations and widgets my battery life was longest and it shutdown at 1% or 0% (doesn't matter), but ROM was little laggy and was killing all my background applications :/ so I switched to "MIUI_XJ_D2EXT_X-PART_2.2.10" (wiped battery stats) and now my phone shutdown at 20% :S I already tried battery calibration at 100% but it didn't help..now I will try full charge with phone off, and than wipe battery stats..
[Desire General] danarama:
Battery stats does nothing for this.

When you say calibration, what do you mean "At 100%"?

Did you read that guide I posted link to>?
[Desire General] Zullian:
it's just program from market battery calibration, and u can calibrate it any time but it's recommended to calibrate when battery is at 100%, and yes, I saw link u posted, ill try this next if this now don't help and if my kernel supports it
[Desire General] danarama:
Ah no, you start running teh app as per the guide at 2% before whatever % it normally shuts down. So if it shuts down at 20%, start the app at 22% and let it drain, plug it in when it says. It makes a note of this % and then it makes a note of 100% then makes 20% 1%.

Its quite complex.
[Desire General] Zullian:
btw should I follow tutorial exactly or with some different values? cus I really don't understand s**t there :D I have Desire GSM
[Desire General] danarama:
Set all values as per the thread, but ensure if you have teh standard battery...

b. For
i. OEM batteries ; Set mAh: 1452 --> save
[Desire General] Zullian:
how can I check that?
[Desire General] danarama:
Did you buy a non HTC battery? Take the battery cover off. Standard battery should say HTC on it
[Desire General] Zullian:
nop, it's original htc battery and htc is written on it, which should I choose than?

anyway my kernel doesn't support it so when I change rom I'll try this if battery will be deformed -.-
[Desire General] danarama:
1452 for oem
[Desire General] Zullian:
I can report back my method didn't work -.- it still shutdown at 18%, but I have question, is my battery duration decreased cus he shutdown at 18% or it is normal like 100%-0%? just with different numbers? sry for bad english :P
[Desire General] danarama:
Usually 18%-100% is same as 1%-100%, just different numbers...
[Desire General] Zullian:
Do you maybe know some way I can calibrate that on this ROM?

"xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957291" --> D2EXT X-PART
[Desire General] GoodSoul:
If the first App does not work for you [https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration] try the second App [https://market.android.com/details?id=net.jonrichards.batterycalibrator.ui].
[Desire General] Zullian:
I've already tried 1st one with no success, and my kernel doesn't support second.. :/
[Desire General] danarama:
Flash one that does?
[Desire General] Zullian:
I'm not so much into kernels, could u suggest me one for my ROM maybe? I want it to be fastest and smoothest :D and if I flash wrong kernel, how can I return old one using advanced backup? (What I mean is in which file is kernel "boot.img, system.img...")
[Desire General] StylishPirat:
Here in third post you have list of kernels for various roms.
[Desire General] Zullian:
Thanks for that but 1st I need answer to my question "In which file of backup is kernel?" cus I don't wanna mess my kernel and than do full restore when I can do it with only one *.img file probably :D
[Desire General] danarama:
Boot.img and system.img :)
[Desire General] Zullian:
Thank you, I'll try your ROM after these one probably :D I hope it's good :P
[Desire General] danarama:
Good news is kernel supports calibration ;)
[Desire General] Alvin1234:
charge with the phone off until full, then turn on for 1 min. then off it again and charge until green again. hope it helps.
[Desire General] Zullian:
I have done that yesterday and just now phone shutdown at 18% again.. :S

@rootSU I hope that your kernel will recalibrate my battery alone like AIO sense 3.5 ROM :P
[Desire General] erklat:
I did that nexus calibration thingy couple of times and my battery dies at 8% nevertheless. I think our batteries are simply worn out.

SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
[Desire General] Zullian:
well yes, that is correct but as I already said my battery goes normal from 100% to 0% on AIO 3.5 sense ROM
[Desire General] Tarun Chaudhary:
I did that calibration thing many time... but it never helped..

Would restoring my phone with an original RUU resolve the issue ?

Someone please reply..
[Desire General] taaviu:
Maybe your battery is "old"

Or if calibration don't help....try another calibration/recovery.
[Desire General] Tarun Chaudhary:
What do you mean by "another calibration" ?

Can't it be solved through original RUU ?
[Desire General] stankyou:
I got fed up doing the calibration that I accepted the fact that my phone dies at 15% exactly the same time I get the low battery warning. I really don't find it worth my time to stress about the battery not shutting down at zero... I'm more concerned about finding out what is the most stable, the fastest and the most recommended ROM out there for my Desire. :/
[Desire General] okishead:
Not expensive on Amazon is not necessarily a way out.

Its always better to stick to original or if you are an extensive user try Mugen.
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
I have to admit, this is something that has been bothering me for a long time, though it used to be a small pet peeve. I never understood why phone manufacturers create phones with speakers on the back.

The majority of smartphones I've owned and used has had speakers placed on the back and, on all of them, it had an effect on the phone's audio quality. On the 8525, the volume would increased greatly if you place it on its back. On the Fuze, it would decrease it greatly (this is in addition to the already low volume of the Fuze). By comparison to these two, the two phones I used which I considered as having the best audio both had speakers on the top/bottom (Nokia E71 and iPhone 3GS).

Which makes perfect sense to me. Listening to music on my Fuze, I always had to place it on some surface which allowed me to leave the 'speaker' portion free so that I could hear the music well. On the other hand, with my iPhone, I could leave it anywhere and it wouldn't matter because, well, the speakers are on the bottom.

Now perhaps it wouldn't bother me so if I knew the purpose of doing this. Off the bat, I know it can't be because of design (as a lot of phones with top/bottom speakers placement remains thin and very sleekly designed), so my second thought was that it had something to do with using speaker-phone. However, I can't really see placing speakers on the top/bottom as opposed to back as having a negative effect on voice quality.

So can anyone inform me, please?
[HD2 General] firebadbobb:
as the title goes. i have had this thing sibce it came out and i have had to so much to make it decent. with such great hardware, why does it lack great looking games? i had an iphone 3g and its games are great. i mean my hd2 is more powerfull than that and its games look worse than iphone. why?
[HD2 General] jerryparid:
WinMo

If HTC would rerelease HD2 as a rebranded Android phone, this phone would sell like hotcakes considering that it is now a free phone.

[HD2 General] aikon359:
id have to agree with jerryparid. the hd2 in general is an awesome piece of kit, purely let down by the OS.

running linux, and android, this thing is a little beaut! (thanks to the guys in the forum for making that a possibility)
[HD2 General] maxpower097:
Actually the PSX games run so smooth (60fps) on the HD2 the games on the HD2 blow away the games on other systems. I was shocked when I saw the PSX emulator on the HD2. Ran better then a real PSX. Plus you can actually hook up a PS3 BT controller to it and game with a real pad I say HD2 gaming is far far superior to iphone or android. Native games don't seem to have much development because 1. WP7 is coming and will bump specs up really high. Its easy to dev for a small number of phones with limited specs, but WM has 1000's of phones a year come out with specs of all types from 200mhz to 1ghz. If you were to really develop a real game like the iphone for WM you would only have like 4 phones that could run it. Then the 1000 phones that couldn't run it would all be pissed. With iphone they all have the same 1 phone so thats not an issue. With android the oldest phone is a year old so their specs are more refined. Hope this explains how to get better games you will be happy with and why there aren't as many great native games on WM. Once you get the proper rom loaded and it tweaked right the HD2 kicks ass and is super stable. I hope you put the work in to get yours where you need it. If you do I'm sure you will be very happy with it and can hold out till we get a working copy of Android on it.
[HD2 General] xaccers:
because you haven't found the good games yet :)

[HD2 General] firebadbobb:
yeah i forgot to mention the ps1 emulator. it does run well. that is always the main program i show to new people.i never thought of the dev side to things. good point. i still wonder why the lack of exclusive games though. speaking of wm7, i hear its up in the air whether or not we get that upgrade. sorry bout typos. i am using it right now to post.
[HD2 General] firebadbobb:
yeah, i know this is the wrong section for what im about to ask but, im getting replies here. i made a thread but nio one is biting. is there a way to install hspl without a pc? my pc died and i have to goti my moms house 30 mins away to gain access to one. again sorry for asking in wrong place.

WTF are you people on about??? talk about fanboys lol the powervr gpu in the iphone kicks the ass out of adreno lol it can do over 50 million triangles a second more :confused: as far as processing power goes snapdragon kicks the ass out of the apple a4 but then again my desire kick the ass out of ur HD's lol
[HD2 General] firebadbobb:
hey man im not trying to turn this thread into a flamewar. why you gotta throw out the fanboy word? lol. i was trying to figure out y the iphone produces great looking games and our hd2s dont have much. btw i found diablo for my phone lol
[HD2 General] AndroHero:
well its true lol if your gunna have debate you need to base it on fact not what device is your fave :rolleyes: the iphone has better games because its gpu is alot more powerful end of, if you wanna know what snapdragon is capable of check out this vid of nova on the desire :)

I love my HD2, awesome piece of kit, let down by the OS though!

Yet it still works a treat!
[HD2 General] 8525Smart:
It's as some of the others say, it's an OS-level problem. iOS simply allows for much better game design, which is why games on iPhone tend to look better than they do on other smartphone OSes.

WinMo is a very established OS, but without a good underlying design, programing something spectacular for it is very tough. This is not a problem exclusive to WinMo, but I think WinMo epitomizes the problem very well. When your OS requires a 1Ghz CPU just to get anywhere close to the smoothness of a phone using a 412Mhz CPU, there is a serious problem.

When your OS requires phone manufacturers to develop custom UIs to make usability better, there is an even worse problem.

I very recently bought a TP2 and a HD2.

Despite the noticeably slower Sense and smaller screen I'll be keeping the TP2 and selling the HD2.

I still feel keyboard is a massive win over touch screen & Swype.

Also I've not been to impressed with the stability of big time roms for the HD2 so I've only been using official roms.

I installed all my apps in internal memory ...

but all these apps created ''messy'' folders in my sd card ... making it even more messy.

Is there a way to ''ask'' these apps to install in specific sd card folder??

like \\sd\apps\data\
[Desire Themes and Apps] zw4mp:
If you mean Froyo apps2sd they are all stored in a folder called .android_secure

Some apps also create folders on the SDcard for storing data regardless if you installed it on sd or internal.. Thats the developers choice I guess, where to put them.
[Desire Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
there just app data folders, any you delete will either be restored when you next boot up your fone or next run a certain program so your wasting your time deleting any :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] le3ky:
They haven't installed on the sdcard. Like others have said, these folders are actually what the app creates to store data on. Some are images the app uses, others may be cached items or backups.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dragonithe:
i think what the op means, is,if there is any way to tell the app where to put his data on the sd card, like on windows where you can tell a program where to instal.

and as far as i know that is not possible.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Xinot:
Thats why i have My_Music, My_Wallpapers, My_Ringtones etc. folders in my card, so it can be as messy as it wants, but my own stuff is there in one place. Easy to find.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] allwires:
Hey guys,

Whenever I am trying to enter information into forms (like adding a new contact, adding a phone number...) when I click on a field, the software keyboard pops up. When I start typing on the hardware keyboard the software keyboard hides away and everything is fine.

The problem is when you type on one of the bottom one or two fields and the screen has to scroll when the software keyboard comes up. For some reason when you start typing on the hardware keyboard, the field loses focus and you can't type. I hate having to use the software keyboard to type stuff. Does anyone know how to fix this?

To reproduce this go to People Tab > All People > New (add new contact) > Add Number (I know there is a text field there but sometimes you want to change the type of the number) > then try typing the phone number into the phone number box with the hardware keyboard.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baritone4hire:
Really basic question...

I'm running DD2.7, which is AOSP, hence no direct way to update the PRL.

In all the AOSP ROM threads, the protocol to get PRL updated is to:

1. make a nandroid backup

2. restore a nandroid from a Sprint-based ROM (e.g., Fresh or DC)

3. update the PRL from within the flashed Sprint-based ROM

4. restore the nandroid backup of the AOSP ROM

Question: When switching to a new ROM, I've always wiped data first; will going back and forth between ROMs using nandroid backups (for instance, to update a new PRL when available) mess anything up to the point that I'll have to wipe and reflash my daily ROM?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
No, as long as you do a proper nandroid you'll be able to restore fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baritone4hire:
Thanks. That part I understand, so I'll clarify: does ROM switching via nandroid restores (obviously without wiping data) have the same negative effect to ROM/phone performance that flashing ROMs (without wiping data) has?

Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
I haven't had a problem switching between nands without wiping, but it's never a bad idea...to wipe that is.
